I don't know if this has been posted before. It's a old video I found on You Tube called "RVing in 1937"

Thanks for finding this.

It brings back some old memories as I lived in one just like those shown for my first five years of life with Mom, Dad, older sister and the last year younger sister. We didn't move around with it but it was cheap living while my dad built our future home. It was 18'x 6', had a fuel oil stove, ice box, an outhouse out back and we had to carried water for daily drinking, cooking and washing.

Some say those were the "good old days". As a kid I enjoyed them but I sure wouldn't want to go back to them now.

"Limited means" as Cheech said "not anymore man". Nice vid of an innocent America.
Thanks.

Last time I visited the Pederson Museum there was a vintage rig which was composed of a tow vehicle and trailer. looked like all of it built by one manufacturer. It was parked by the entrance, and in the parking structure on the ground floor.

Unfortunately it was not open in order to see the interior but it sure got my attention.

Maybe next trip down there it will be available. They have completely renovated the museum and is now open again.
